More Than a Number by Tia Souders

4.0

Rating - 4.2 stars (lol too good for 4 but not enough for 4.5)

loved it. the author has done a really good job on making it easy for us to connect with her thoughts & feelings. her sister is the nicest!! She's like the sister one could always want and I hated how Gracie didn't realise that... luca's such a jerk tho... and honestly i wish there was more of a storyline with the romance - it was almost too easy... the ED part, tho, was portrayed well

While this book shows the descent into anorexia quite well and the desire for control that is associated with it, I found the ending quite short and quick whereas it might have been interesting to have Grace comfront all the factors that lead to her sickness instead of a quick and easy "its nobody's fault". The fact is that the author wrote some very damaging habits that can lead one to become depressed and or anorexic and talking about those habits that others have and see them confront them would have been helpful with the message. Our environment affects us one way or another and dismissing this fact does not help anybody.
